Thrombocytopenia

Can Calcium Help With Thrombocytopenia?

Have you ever had a cut on your finger or somewhere else, and the bleeding would not stop? At first, it can scare you, and you might wonder why the blood just keeps coming out, almost like the blood is "thin. There is a health problem called thrombocytopenia. It's when you have a much lower number of platelets in the blood than what is needed to be healthy. Platelets, which people also call thrombocytes, help your blood to clot. They gather at a place where your blood vessel is hurt, form a plug, and help stop bleeding. A normal platelet count is between about 150,000 and 450,000 for every microliter of blood. A doctor will say you have thrombocytopenia if your platelet count goes below 150,000. The lower your count is, the more serious this can be.
